• Driving a nail at an angle through one board to secure it to another board or surface.

• A technique used to attach decorative trim or molding to a surface by embedding small, decorative nails resembling toenails.

• 1. The process of using a specialized hammer with a rounded head to drive nails into hard-to-reach areas, mimicking the motion of a toenail being clipped.
